Chelsea have received a positive update in the pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic after Juventus admitted they may be forced to sell their No.9 this summer.
Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus’ director of football, stated as much in remarks.
What was mentioned about Dusan Vlahovic, a Chelsea target? Let’s look at this…
What is the narrative?
Giuntoli recently travelled to London to speak with Chelsea regarding the Serbian international, reports Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian news outlet continued, saying that throughout the summer, there have been numerous negotiations about a transfer between Chelsea and Vlahovic.
Juventus has now made it obvious how they feel about the 23-year-old.
Giuntoli said, as cited by Fabrizio Romano: “Vlahovic? It’s no secret that we need to clarify our finances and balance, which means we must take into account large ideas. It’s crucial to make clear that Dusan is a team member and that we trust him.
In essence, Juventus has now informed Chelsea that the Serbian striker is up for sale and will be sold if a sizable offer is received.
In 42 appearances last season, Vlahovic scored 14 goals. According to the aforementioned Gazzetta dello Sport report, Vlahovic is worth £60 million.
A Vlahovic and Lukaku trade for Chelsea appears likely.
After learning that Romelu Lukaku was willing to join Juventus, Inter Milan unexpectedly lost interest in signing him, according to the Telegraph.
According to the same report, Juventus are currently dominating the fight to sign the Belgian, so it appears highly plausible that Chelsea and the Italian powerhouses might work out a deal with Vlahovic.
According to a report from Corriere dello Sport, Juventus reportedly told Chelsea they can have Vlahovic for merely £21 million if Lukaku is also part of the deal. At this point, the Blues may find that offer to be extremely alluring.
Keep an eye on this scenario since there will always be connections between Chelsea and Vlahovic.
